"What the prince said is true! If the prince goes north, Hanoi will help. Dong Zhao said.

Xu Ding nodded slightly and said: "Okay, you go back and tell Zhang Yang, I won't embarrass him, let him open all the east of Wuxiu to our army, and guard the Qinshui line well and don't move, I won't complain about him, on the contrary, we will have a lot of cooperation in the future, I still want to do business with him, develop the economy, engage in construction or something." ”

"It's the prince, I will definitely bring the truth to me." Dong Zhao's heart was relieved, Xu Ding's plan was indeed the Montenegrin army, and he had no intention of advancing westward, let alone plotting to seize Hanoi.

came over by playing Dong Zhuo's banner, just to let you want to be a little more public, don't follow forward.

Dong Zhao wanted to retire, but Xu Ding shouted: "Wait! I heard that Gong Renyuan was working for officials under Yuan Shao, why did he suddenly come to Hanoi? ”

Dong Zhao didn't expect Xu Ding to ask this, and couldn't help but tense up a little, so he replied: "Back to the prince, Yuan Shao is a person with a wide face and a jealous heart, and he is not tolerant of people. ”

"I see, I often hear that Gongren has great talents, if he enters the imperial court, he can be the third prince of Jiuqing, I don't know if Gongren is still satisfied with staying in Hanoi, and whether he is interested in going to Qingzhou or Pingzhou." Zhang Miao has a grudge against Yuan Shao, and he knows that since Dong Zhao's younger brother is the palace under Zhang Miao, it is reasonable for Dong Zhao to be suspected and not reused, so Xu Ding saw that Dong Zhao had some talents and wanted to poach him.

Dong Zhao was also a little surprised, Xu Ding's digging was too direct, although he was a little moved, he said: "It is said in the world that under the rule of the monarch and the marquis, the people are rich and solid, stable and rich, the officials are clear and clear, and the army is strong, which is fascinating."

After hearing this, Zhao also wanted to travel, and then he was ordered by the king, and he was troubled by the affairs of the county, and he couldn't take out for the time being, if he had the opportunity, he would go to Qingzhou and Pingzhou to ask the prince for advice. ”

"Good! Then I will be waiting for Gongren at any time. Xu Ding finally showed a bright smile and nodded slightly, and Dong Zhao left.

Soon Dong Zhao returned to Yewang from Huai County.

"How is Gongren? What did Xu Ding say! This time, Zhang Yang did not convene the civil and military affairs, but met with Dong Zhao alone.

Dong Zhao said: "Fujun, the Marquis of Weihai does not covet my Hanoi, and it is true that he is bent on crusading against Dong Zhuo, but he promised to take a detour to the north and no longer borrow the road from Jiguan." ”

"He's really going to fight Dong Zhuo." Zhang Yang was skeptical, took two steps back and forth, and asked:

"Take a detour to the north, he is really willing, but there are Yuan Shaoyan's generals in the party, I'm afraid there will be a conflict."

Dong Zhao said: "Lord, it is precisely because it is the land of Yuan Shao that the Marquis of Weihai is willing to go north. ”

Belch......

It seems that Yuan Shao and Xu Ding are in a hostile state, Xu Ding started a war with the Yuan family, and they are still enemies, Xu Ding not only killed many clansmen of the Yuan family, but also killed Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan.

The Xu and Yuan families are life and death feuds without reconciliation.

Xu Ding didn't need a reason to beat Yuan Shao.

"It's hard work, by the way, what other conditions does Weihaihou have?" Zhang Yang is not stupid, Xu Ding is willing to go north, there must be conditions, otherwise Ganma will have to take a long detour from Shangdang to Hedong.

Dong Zhao said: "Fujun, you forgot again, Taihang Mountain is also in the north, Yuan Shao and the Montenegrin army are fighting hotly at this time, and the Marquis of Weihai is willing to go north, and he also has the intention of adding blockage to Yuan Shao and recruiting some troops by the way, so he doesn't have any conditions, as long as we let go of Wuxiu to the east, but ask to meddle in the affairs of the three parties." ”

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, secretly saying that his brain was indeed a little unturned.

After figuring it out, he said: "This is easy to say, as long as he does not covet my Hanoi and does not use the road to enter my west, we will not interfere in the affairs of him, Yuan Shao and the Montenegrin army." ”

A fool is nosy, whether the Montenegrin Army fights with Yuan Shao, or Xu Ding fights with Yuan Shao, he doesn't have any interests to deal with, and whoever wins or loses has nothing to do with him, so he won't make a move.

Even if he is now under the name of the Yuan family, he is an independent guard, so he will not rashly act to settle grudges.

…………

After negotiating with Zhang Yang, Xu Ding immediately led the army to turn around and go northeast, and the navy army also evacuated Qinshui, and then entered the Qingshui River and Qishui River from the downstream.

The army was divided into three ways to kill the area of the Taihang Mountains and the Dahao Mountain.

As mentioned earlier, Yuan Shao controlled the area north of Chaoge in Hanoi County, and assigned soldiers and horses to block the Montenegrin army from moving south.

At this time, the scope of the activities of the Montenegrin Army was constantly shrinking.

As the leader of the Montenegrin Military Alliance, Zhang Yan is also becoming more and more worried.

"Report! The alliance leader is not good, and that guy has defected to Yuan Shao! ”

"Hehe, if you vote, you will vote." Zhang Yan didn't show any anger when she heard this, and waved her hand to let the messenger go down.

This is not the first wave to leave the Montenegrin Army.

Originally, there were two people who took refuge in Yuan Shao, and they were Bai Huan and Tao Sheng, plus Qi Gu was the third, and there were Guo Daxian, Liu Shi, Zhang Fuyun, Zuo Baique, Wulu, Ku Hao, Luo Dacang and others who faced the north.

These people fell to Liu Bei's guy.

Now the power of the Montenegrin Army has shrunk by one-third, and the million Montenegrin Army is only about 600,000.

And most of them are civilians, and there are not many people who can fight.

Otherwise, he didn't have to be afraid of Yuan Shao's encirclement and suppression, and he was directly dragged to the Jizhou Plain to fight with Yuan Shao.

"Alliance leader, it's not a way to go on like this, it's better to agree to Weihaihou!" Zhang Yan's general Sun Qing persuaded.

Other people such as Wang Dang, Du Chang and others also said: "Yes, the alliance leader, if it goes on like this, it will be more difficult for everyone to suffer in autumn and winter, and I don't know how many people will go out of the mountain." ”

Sun Qing, Wang Dang, Du Chang and other Zhang Yan's top generals were basically persuaded by the people sent by Xu Ding.

Everyone is also anxious, now Liu Bei's guy is digging the foot of the wall too diligently, and every three teams go north to Taiyuan County.

Taiyuan County was mainly too close to Taihang Mountain and couldn't withstand the pressure exerted by Yuan Shao, so these people simply voted for Liu Bei nearby.

Compared with Liu Bei, they are still optimistic about Xu Ding.

Reputation and strength are the best choices, the most important thing is that the yellow scarves of the year were living well under Xu Ding, and those who joined the army continued to be soldiers and generals, and when they were ordinary people, they had land and houses, and they lived a good life.

This is what they really envy and yearn for.

Moreover, now the number one prince in the world is Xu Ding, and the future is limitless.

Zhang Yan swept the generals and knew that most of his subordinates were interested in voting for Xu Ding, but he was still a little hesitant, and only said: "I heard that Xu Ding and Cao Cao led troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and now I am afraid that we have no time to care whether we live or die, and far water cannot quench our thirst. ”
